Working Group on Robotic Brachytherapy (WGRB)

Facilitate communication and collaboration among investigators working on robotic systems having brachytherapy, biopsy and focal therapy applications, and with potential manufacturers and vendors of these systems.

Communicate new technology related to robotic or similar systems. to other Task Groups and Working Groups

Establish guidelines for the safe use and quality management of robotic brachytherapy.

Establish guidelines for required accuracy of relevant motions and procedures associated with delivery of robotic brachytherapy.

Develop educational programs to apprise the AAPM membership and the radiotherapy community about robotic-assistance in brachytherapy and focal therapy.

As appropriate reach out to other relevant communities by organizing special educational sessions, for example, at meetings/gatherings with ASTRO, as well as at robotic and biomedical conferences such as MICCAI, ICRA, IROS, etc.
